## Summary

In a public procurement process concluded on 24th July 2025, Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central government public authority in Ellesmere Port, awarded a contract for "Place Based Marketing" services. This tender fell under the industry category of market and economic research, polling, and statistics, and was specifically aimed at supporting the economic development of Mid Cheshire. The procurement method deployed was direct, and the contract was awarded without competition, as the project was deemed below the threshold. The service delivery is scheduled to span from 21st July 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This contract presents a substantial business opportunity, particularly for companies involved in marketing, localisation, and community engagement, given the focus on place-based marketing strategies.
